Hello,

One thing I miss in Mailmate vs webmail is the ability to show images without leaking my IP or other identifying info — something that GMail or FastMail are able to do when using their clients.

You are over-crediting that functionality.

A webmail provider that proxies images may "protect" you from the sender discovering your IP address (a trivial piece of information that in most cases isn't worth collecting) but you cannot depend on that. It DOES NOT protect you from email address verification and in some cases has been intentionally designed to avoid disrupting "open tracking" by senders. It's an anti-malware and UI tactic, not part of a privacy strategy.
